Best movie of this year hands down!

Thanks for the memories!

People are voting emotionally.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I bought the DVD a few years ago and finally got around to watching it one night and it was 90 minutes of pure torture....acting was mediocre,I'm really into ghost stories but this one just did not work....special effects were really lame....right from the start I knew I was in for a long night..it seemed like 3 hours watching this as every scene just dragged by...there were several scenes where they would just show the lead actors sitting on the porch for 6-7 minutes not saying anything...really,really,not interesting at all....watch another movie at all costs..i give this 1 star out of 10...very brutal to sit through.

From the opening scene w/ the character John (Leon) thrashing about in a hospital bed I had a premonition of the boredom that loomed over the horizon.I won't go heavily into a plot synopsis, but I will tell you that this made-for-rental movie was about as exciting as watching a PGA tournament frame-by-frame (with instant replays). The characters are cookie-cutter and uninteresting (including the ghost). From the description on the packaging, I thought a "seductive spirit" would actually be... hmmm... seductive. Instead, we get a tepid performance, PG-13 nudity and a ghost whose hair could use a serious amount of trimming. The only difference in this story was that the leads were all of color, but even that slight twist couldn't save this film.I decided to watch the movie to the end, but now I want those 90 minutes of my life back. I gave the movie (2) stars because it wasn't the worst movie I'd ever seen, but ranks up there in the top ten as the most uninspired, tedious and mind-numbing experiences I've ever had.

This was a nice little ghost story to past the time. It was about a Carribean ghost who was spurned by her lover and wanted to take over the life of the current family who lived in her house. You don't see too many ghost stories with leading black characters, I think most directors should focus on this aspect.

The hero's name is John and that gives you a good idea of this film's lack of imagination. Except for being black, this couple who move into a haunted house are strictly by-the-numbers characters, as is what happens to them. Special effects are primitive, without even camp value. There are sex scenes and nudity but nothing special about them. Our horny ghost is about as interesting as a third-rate strip show. Only the current lack of other description motivates me to write this.
